Since it could be improper to devour at a cafe known as Prep & Pastry and no longer devour a pastry, we ate a Coconut Lime Donut. It used to be just right. Actually just right. And we don’t even like coconut. However we digress…
Prep & Pastry used to be forward of the Tucson Sunday brunch curve when it opened in 2013. Then again, to be transparent, Prep & Pastry doesn’t simply serve brunch on Sundays. It’s a seven-day brunch operation.
Only some pastries had been to be had after we arrived on a hectic Sunday morning and is the reason why those two coconut haters selected to devour a Coconut Lime Donut. However, regardless of our coconut disdain, we cherished the wealthy sugary donut accented with simply sufficient lime taste to steadiness its sugary sweetness.
For our brunch plates, Mindi dug right into a monstrous Monte Cristo filled with honey roasted ham, Swiss cheese and pineapple-jalapeño mascarpone whilst Daryl stuffed his abdominal with Solid Iron Duck Confit which he couldn’t lend a hand however examine to duck hash. He preferred it however on the other hand he likes all issues duck. As for Mindi, she used to be overjoyed to have 3 other condiments plus smashed potatoes at the similar plate as her french toast sandwich.
Professional Tip
Don’t hesitate to reserve espresso at Prep & Pastry if you happen to’re a espresso snob like us. The preferred brunch spot used to be brewing espresso with beans sourced from Presta Espresso Roasters, one among Tucson’s perfect 3rd wave roasters.

Robert’s Eating place
We cherished the whole thing about Robert’s, open since 1978. It’s the type of operating guy’s eating place we take as a right after we’re in The usa however leave out so much after we’re away.
Happily, we weren’t deterred through the development which appears to be like extra like a taupe field than a diner. Our stroll within the boxy development printed a ceiling tile-topped eating room, an L-shaped formica counter and easy prefab plywood cubicles. An worker who’s labored the sign up for greater than twenty years welcomed us whilst a cadre of locals sat within the cubicles and counter stools whilst taking part in hearty breakfast dishes and cups of joe.
Those hearty dishes come with pieces like Selfmade Corned Red meat & Hash, Biscuits & Gravy and a highly spiced Crispy Hen Sandwich. Additionally they come with Cinnamon Buns and Chorizo Scrambled Eggs which is what we ordered.
Despite the fact that we hadn’t examine Robert’s sooner than our talk over with, we arrived with a advice to reserve the freshly baked Cinnamon Bun. It used to be a forged advice however person who got here with possible choices – without or with pecans (we selected with out) and toasted or no longer toasted (we went toasted). Then again, we didn’t must specify the bowl of additional sugary glaze which comes with each and every bun.
Uncover extra nice cinnamon buns all over the world.
That Cinnamon Bun used to be simply some of the perfect we’ve ever eaten. Mindi cherished the additional glaze and now believes that each and every diner cinnamon bun will have to be served that method.
Daryl gave a large thumbs as much as his Chorizo Scrambled Eggs – a dish the place scrambled eggs and floor Mexican chorizo harmoniously intermingled – and he definitely didn’t bitch that it used to be served with a facet of Hash Browns and a flour tortilla.
We might take a look at a slice of selfmade cream pie after we go back. If we do, we’ll have to make a choice from a variety of flavors like apple, banana, cherry, lemon and peanut butter however we’ll for sure go on coconut.
